Need gift ideas for your loved ones? Read on…

When it comes to giving a gift, give something your loved one really needs — one that promotes a healthy and active lifestyle. Here are some ideas of what you can give, a.k.a I’m A Hot Mom’s Holiday Gift Guide:

Active Lifestyle:

Certificate or gift card for a personal training session, a dance class, water aerobics, you get the picture. Get one for yourself and you have a workout buddy.
A gardening basket filled with packets of herb seeds, a pair of garden gloves, and hat.
An exercise dvd or accessories like jump rope, weights, pedometer, heart rate monitor, etc.
A gift card to a local sporting goods store.
Roller blades, scooter, bike, etc. We gave roller blades to the kids last year. We’ll probably sign them up to a dance or swimming class this year.
And if you’re my husband, I want a Trampoline!

Healthy Eating:

A fruit basket. Really, I cannot emphasize enough how I would prefer to receive even a single apple than a box of cookies or chocolates! It’s hard enough that the entire season is “feasting” for me, having tempting sugary snacks in my pantry won’t help.
A certificate for healthy cooking class.
A slow cooker, rice cooker or steamer and a cookbook to encourage home cooking.

Relaxation:

A gift card to a spa for a relaxing massage would be awesome. If you’re the super generous type, a weekend at a spa resort would be heaven sent!
Nice set of pillows, satin sheets, and mattress cover to promote better sleep!
Volunteer your time to babysit or watch the kids so they could spend a day for themselves.
Aromatherapy candles.
